Store changes

Today I launched a new version of the Clickable Bliss store. The previous version was a custom Rails application. This new version is a fork of the another Rails app called Potion Store. You’ll know if your DNS is updated if you see a Copyright 2010 at the bottom.

To summarize why I switched, I basically compared the work I’d have to do to modernize my old legacy store code compared to the amount of work it would take to adjust Potion Store to meet my needs. Potion Store has a few nice things like Restful objects and a standard PayPal gem that seem more stable than the large controllers and custom SOAP calls I ended up with in those early Rails 1.0 days. I’m not done making additions but there is enough added to get me through the upcoming ProfitTrain launch.

If you own a license to Billable you can help test out the new store by requesting a copy of your billable license. Let me know if you don’t get the email and what time you asked for it to be sent. I know there were issues in the past because of the previous mail host setup and some spam blockers not letting my store’s email pass. Hopefully those are fixed now.
